Is it permissible for the wife to share with her husband the sponsorship of one orphan, and in his expenses such as the school bag and Eid clothing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sponsoring an orphan is one of the good deeds encouraged by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "I and the guardian of the orphan will be in Paradise like this," and he gestured with his index and middle fingers. There is no objection to a husband and wife sharing in the sponsorship of an orphan, with each paying half of the requirements. This is considered cooperation in righteousness and piety.
